I'd like debconf better than impconfigure (yuck)

Really, I'd like (would live) with imp using debconf, iff it would use the
template you mention. Or have some timestamp on when the file was automaticaly
generated and not touch/warn that it was changed afterwards. Third posibility
is to have a question at the end of the install "Do you want further
autogenerate defaults.php3?"
